Last Listing description (July 2024)
Everyone loves a home with a history, and this one won't disappoint.
"Ashcotte", circa 1892, was built by Bendigo Brick Works owner John Wolstencroft for his daughter Hannah, who resided there for about 50 years.
Many occupants followed before LaTrobe University Lecturer Sarah Warneke purchased it in 1990. Sarah is better known as acclaimed fantasy author Sarah Douglass ? and the story has it, she used the front lounge room to create her famous brand of literary magic.
The solid brick home is a tribute to its heritage with original polished timber floors, high decorative ceilings, open fireplaces, picture rails and etched ruby glass sidelights to the front entry.
The versatile layout provides a choice of three bedrooms and one living area or two bedrooms and two living areas.
The lounge features a restored marbleised open fireplace, a unique batten ceiling and intricate hand-painted cornice. Across the hallway, the main bedroom includes another open fireplace and overlooks the front verandah.
The central, all-new bathroom displays a hint of modernity with a shower unit over the bath, a marble-topped vanity, a toilet and a soothing pale blue/white colour palette.
The living zone encompasses an elegant dining room boasting a domed ceiling panel with more hand-painted cornice, another fireplace and Anaglypta wallpaper beneath timber dado rails.
The upgraded kitchen will delight keen cooks with a new 900mm Smeg 6-burner, double-oven cooker, dishwasher and ample timber cabinetry.
The living room is the perfect place to put your feet up at the end of the day or entertain family and friends. Glass sliders access the secluded brick-paved and wisteria-draped alfresco with additional sitting nooks, lush lawns and a sun-drenched elevated patio filling the private, enclosed rear yard.
Additional features include ducted heating/cooling, a wine cellar, triple linen cupboards and a garden shed.
The property enjoys a prime position within walking distance from the railway station for Melbourne commuting, the CBD, restaurants, theatres, shops, schools and public transport.
The current owner has maintained and significantly restored the home's original character and beauty - you can continue the history by making it your new home.
